My toes are not complaining of any unusual weight put on them ;), I
was asking this out of curiosity and because I was wondering if we
have any policy for that matter.

So there's a lot of overkill going on here.
I'd have to argue that if you can figure out the unique
dependencies then so can MacPorts. How can that be overkill? The
dependencies listed in a portfile are up to the maintainer to
maintain. If they don't feel burdened by the extraneous ports --
well, I find figuring out what's already handled just as bothersome
-- it really shouldn't matter.
Good point. I really don't spend a lot of time looking for the
minimal set of dependencies either. As you say, as long as a port
builds properly, each
maintainer should be able to deal with it in a way he that makes him
feel comfortable. After all, this is a volunteer affair and there's
plenty of work
to go around without manufacturing more.
Sorry if I stepped on any toes.
